Please watch this lovely rendition of Carrie Underwood singing the beautiful hymn "Softly and Tenderly" last year at the CMA awards show. I pray it touches your heart ~ as it has mine...

Softly and tenderly... Jesus is awaiting us all to accept His Son as our Savior and come home - one day. For all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, but God gave us a great, amazing gift, His Son, Jesus, who died upon the cross for our sins. All we have to do is repent of our sins and believe in our hearts and God does all the rest... He washes us white as snow!

Happy Easter to You All!!!
Blessings to You... Each and Everyone!!! Net

*NOTE: Fans of the popular Hallmark Movies & Mysteries series "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" will be excited to know... this "Darrow & Darrow" movie co-stars one of the POstables, Geoff Gustafson (Norman)!

Storyline via Hallmark: A simple offer of legal advice turns into the biggest challenge of Claire Darrow's legal career when her new beau, District Attorney Miles Strasberg, introduces her to his younger half-sister, Phoebe. A singer who has just completed her first album, Phoebe fears that she may have signed away her rights to her ex-producer, who is threatening to destroy the recordings. When the producer is found dead in his studio, police find evidence and motive enough to arrest Phoebe. Though Claire has never tried a murder case, Miles can't imagine trusting his beloved sibling's fate to anyone else. Working side by side with Miles, Claire sets out to uncover the truth behind the crime.

STUDIO CITY, CA – March 28, 2018 – Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, has ordered “The Chronicle Mysteries,” a new movie franchise from Alison Sweeney, with Sweeney set to star and executive produce. Sweeney will produce the movie series with Craig Baumgarten (Shattered Glass) of Zero Gravity Management. Melissa Salmons, who first worked with Sweeney at “Days of our Lives” and subsequently wrote several of her projects from Crown Media Family Networks, will write the movies.

“Viewers are going to love this new mystery from the incomparable Alison Sweeney,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. “Sweeney’s return to Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is something we’ve been waiting for and we are so excited that she has worked to bring ‘The Chronicle Mysteries’ to life for us.”

“I’m so honored that Bill, Michelle and the entire team at Crown Media have supported my vision as an actress, producer and now content provider,” added Sweeney. “I’ve recently participated in a few true crime podcasts and met leading crime experts to bridge my obsession with true crime and my love of storytelling.”

“The Chronicle Mysteries” stars Sweeney, as Roberta "Robbie" McPherson a novelist and podcaster who's researching the cold case of Gina DeSavio. Robbie loves the chase, loves solving any puzzle or mystery. She is particularly interested in Gina's disappearance because she and Gina knew each other growing up together in a small town.

Sweeney previously starred and executive produced the “Murder She Baked” franchise of movies for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, “Love on the Air,” “The Irresistible Blueberry Farm” and “Christmas at Holly Lodge” for Hallmark Channel.

*PLEASE NOTE PREMIERE TIME: This movie, like the latest installment of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Road Less Traveled," is premiering at 7pm/6c. EST.

*Also Note: Miranda Frigon, who portrays Aurora's adversary Captain Lynn Liggett-Smith in the Aurora movies, unfortunately, will not be in this movie.

"MARK"ing THE 25th!In addition to this Sunday being Palm Sunday (the day that we remember and celebrate the day Jesus entered into Jerusalem as Savior and King!), it's also the 25th Day of the month... it's been 3 months since Christmas... and now, it's only 9 months until Christmas Day!

To commemorate this special time, as I've shared before, I watch a Christmas movie on the 25th day of each month. I'm delighted that many of you have joined along... including our friend Mark, who encourages us here, and makes a point to visit each month on the 25th to share which Christmas movie he watches! That's why I have named this feature after him... "Mark"ing the 25th! Basically, each month, on or before the 25th, I will share which Christmas movie I have chosen to watch that day, and please do the same - in comments below!For this Palm Sunday, my family and I have chosen to watch... "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: For Christmas." Since the premiere movie on UP, "Risen," tells the Resurrection story, we thought it would also be nice to watch "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: For Christmas," because it shares the precious story of Jesus' birth.I hope you all have a Wonderful Weekend and Palm Sunday! If you plan to watch a Christmas movie on the 25th, please share in comments below.

Blessings to You All, Net

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

– Romans 5:8

"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

The Hallmark Channel announced some very exciting news - via Facebook Live Today in Central Park, with Crown Media’s President and CEO Bill Abbott, EVP Ad Sales Ed Georger, and two of Hallmark's favorite, well known actresses... Candace Cameron Bure and Danica McKellar!

They announced Christmas Movie News, three Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movies, and a Season 6 for "When Calls the Heart," and more!!! I know I am personally ecstatic to know this beloved show will be returning for another incredible season... I can't wait to see what will happen next in Hope Valley!It's quite appropriate that a blast of winter snow disrupted Hallmark in sharing this news the way they had originally planned... since they are the "Heart of Christmas!" Even the first few days of Spring... look like Winter... when there is Hallmark news to reveal!

Storyline via UP: Risen follows the epic Biblical story of the Resurrection, as told through the eyes of a non-believer. Clavius, a powerful Roman Military Tribune, and his aide Lucius, are tasked with solving the mystery of what happened to Jesus in the weeks following the crucifixion, in order to disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem.

*Also, co-starring in this episode is actress Kate Drummond, who you may recognize from Hallmark Channel's "Love on Ice" and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries "Flower Shop Mystery" movies!

PREVIEW CLIP - Heartland "Truth Be Told":

As I typically pre-caution, I have not previewed either of these two programs, so please check ratings before viewing, etc... Heartland is commonly a family-friendly show; however, they sometimes deal with life and death, adult issues. For the most part, though, I do believe it's a program all ages can enjoy together.

Therefore... dust off your boots, settle in, and... I hope you will like these two new episodes of Heartland on UP tonight!

The Lifetime network is reviving this beloved Christmas promotional theme as the channel is becoming even more competitive during the Holiday Season... by ordering 14, yes FOURTEEN All New Original Christmas-Themed Movies to air throughout November and December, 2018!

With past well-loved movie offerings such as "Gift Wrapped Christmas," "Christmas in the City," and "Last Chance Christmas" and more recently, "Snowed-Inn Christmas" and "Christmas in Mississippi"... hearts were won over by these heartfelt, family-friendly festive Lifetime Christmas movies, that often starred actors and actresses we are familiar with on Hallmark, such as Andrew Walker, Bethany Joy Lenz, Hilarie Burton, Gabe Hogan, Meredith Hagner, Travis Milne, Wes Brown, Jana Kramer, Melissa Joan Hart, Ashley Williams, Arielle Kebbel and more!

It is certain to be a full Christmas TV Movie viewing Season... Bigger than ever for both Lifetime and Hallmark!!!

For the 2018 Christmas movie season, the Hallmark Channel will create 22 new Christmas films, while Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will create 12!

If you add up Lifetime and Hallmark together, well then... you have an incredible number... 48 all new Christmas movies! And, that doesn't include UP, ION, or INSP!
